THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174233. [PMID: 38936726 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Treatment of swine manure by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) with the aid of different surfactants was first explored in this study. PEG 400 (polyethylene glycol 400) and Tween 80 facilitated the formation of bio-oil. SLS (sodium lignosulfonate) and SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) promoted the formation of water-soluble matters/gases. Span 80 enhanced the formation of hydrochar, which resulted in a 50.19 % mass yield, 92.39 % energy yield, and a caloric value of 28.68 MJ/kg. The hydrochar obtained with Span 80 presented a similar combustion performance to raw swine manure and the best pyrolysis performance. The use of Span 80 promoted the transfer of degradation products to hydrochar, especially hydrophobic ester and ketone compounds. Notedly, Span 80 suppressed the synthesis of PAHs during the HTC process, which was reduced to 0.92 mg/kg. Furthermore, the hydrochar produced with Span 80 contained lower contents of heavy metals. On the whole, Span 80 has shown great potential in enhancing the HTC of swine manure. The acting mechanisms of surfactants in the HTC of swine manure included adsorption, dispersion, and electrostatics repulsion.

Abstract
Biochar has emerged as an efficacious green material for remediation of a wide spectrum of environmental pollutants. Biochar has excellent characteristics and can be used to reduce the bioavailability and leachability of emerging pollutants in soil through adsorption and other physico-chemical reactions. This paper systematically reviewed previous researches on application of biochar/engineered biochar for removal of soil contaminants, and underlying adsorption mechanism. Engineered biochar are derivatives of pristine biochar that are modified by various physico-chemical and biological procedures to improve their adsorption capacities for contaminants. This review will promote the possibility to expand the application of biochar for restoration of degraded lands in the industrial area or saline soil, and further increase the useable area. This review shows that application of biochar is a win-win strategy for recycling and utilization of waste biomass and environmental remediation. Application of biochar for remediation of contaminated soils may provide a new solution to the problem of soil pollution. However, these studies were performed mainly in a laboratory or a small scale, hence, further investigations are required to fill the research gaps and to check real-time applicability of engineered biochar on the industrial contaminated sites for its large-scale application.

Abstract
Plastic and mixed plastic waste (PW) has received increased worldwide attention owing to its huge rate of production, high persistency in the environment, and unsustainable waste management practices. Therefore, sustainable PW management and upcycling approaches are imperative to achieve the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Numerous recent studies have shown the application and feasibility of various PW conversion techniques to produce materials with better economic value. Within this framework, the current review provides an in-depth analysis of cutting-edge thermochemical technologies such as pyrolysis, gasification, carbonization, and photocatalysis that can be used to value plastic and mixed PW in order to produce energy and industrial chemicals. Additionally, a thorough examination of the environmental impacts of contemporary PW upcycling techniques and their commercial feasibility through life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economical assessment are provided in this review. Finally, this review emphasizes the opportunities and challenges accompanying with existing PW upcycling techniques and deliver recommendations for future research works.

Abstract
China, the world's largest consumer and producer of pork in the world, is attracting increasing attention due to the environmental impacts of its pig production. Previous studies seldom comprehensively compare the environmental impacts of the pig production system with different models, resulting in different intensities of environmental impacts. We aim to comprehensively evaluate Chinese pig production with different breeding models and explore a more sustainable way for pig production. We use life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate and compare environmental impacts of pig production system with four main breeding models in China from 1998 to 2020: domestic breeding, small-scale breeding, medium-scale breeding, and large-scale breeding. The life cycle encompasses fertilizer production, feed production, feed processing, pig raising, waste treatment, and slaughtering. The impact categories including energy consumption (EN), global warming (GWP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EU), water use (WD), and land occupation (LO) are expressed with "100 kg live weight of fattening pig at farm gate." The results show that driven by governmental support, growing meat demand, and cost advantage, the scale breeding especially large-scale breeding simultaneously yielded greater net economic benefit and less environmental impact compared to other breeding models especially the domestic breeding. Due to mineral fertilizer application, feed production contributed over 50% of the total environmental impacts. Notably, the composition of feeds exerted significant influence on the environmental impacts arising from fertilizer production and feed processing. Furthermore, attributable to the substantial use of electricity and heat, as well as the concomitant emissions, pig raising contributed the largest GWP, while ranking second in terms of AP and EU. Notably, waste management constituted the third-largest EU, AP, and WD. In addition to promote scale breeding, we put forth several sustainable measures encompassing feed composition, cultivation practices, fertilizer utilization, and waste management for consideration.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168823.

Abstract
The prevalence of K deficiency and negative K balance in rice production increases the demand for K fertilizer. However, the primary source of K fertilizer, potash rock, is limited. Recycling K from cow manure compost (CMC) is a sustainable solution. Nevertheless, the effects of substituting K fertilizer with CMC on rice yield, soil K fertility, and partial K balance (PKB) are not well understood. Therefore, a field experiment with four treatments (control - unfertilized, MNP K - CMC plus NPK fertilizer, MNP ½ K - CMC plus NP and 50 % K fertilizer, and MNP - CMC plus NP fertilizer) was conducted from 2020 to 2022 to study the effects of replacing K fertilizer with K from CMC on rice growth, yield, plant K uptake, soil K fertility, and PKB. The results indicated that K input from CMC exceeded the recommended K fertilizer level, sufficient for optimal rice growth and yield over three growing seasons and plant K uptake in the last two seasons. Plant K uptake increased with total K input and reached a plateau when total K input approached the maximum plant K uptake. In the MNP treatment, PKB was negative in the first two seasons but became positive in the last season, owing to the equivalence between K input from CMC and plant K uptake. Key factors influencing PKB in this treatment were K input from CMC and plant K uptake. Increasing the CMC application rate during the first two seasons could lead to a positive PKB. In this treatment, soil exchangeable K changed correspondingly with PKB, decreasing in the first two seasons but increasing in the last season. Overall, determining the appropriate amount of CMC application for a positive PKB is vital for the sustainability of substituting K fertilizer with K from CMC in paddy rice systems.

Abstract
Composting is a traditional method of treating organic waste. A growing number of studies have been focusing on accelerating the process to achieve "rapid composting." However, the specific definition and influencing factors of rapid composting remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to gather more insight into the features of rapid composting by reviewing the literature concerning organic waste composting published in the Web of Science database in the past 5 years. We selected 1615 sample studies with "composting" as the subject word and analyzed the effective composting time stated in each study. We defined rapid composting within 15 days using the median test and quartile method. Based on this definition, we summarized the influencing factors of "rapid composting," namely materials, reactors, temperature, and microorganisms. Finally, we summarized two mechanisms related to humus formation during organic waste rapid composting: high temperature-promoting maturation and microbial driving mechanisms. This literature review compiled useful references to help promote the development of rapid composting technology and related equipment.

Abstract
The pollution of soil and aquatic systems by inorganic and organic chemicals has become a global concern. Economical, eco-friendly, and sustainable solutions are direly required to alleviate the deleterious effects of these chemicals to ensure human well-being and environmental sustainability. In recent decades, biochar has emerged as an efficient material encompassing huge potential to decontaminate a wide range of pollutants from soil and aquatic systems. However, the application of raw biochars for pollutant remediation is confronting a major challenge of not getting the desired decontamination results due to its specific properties. Thus, multiple functionalizing/modification techniques have been introduced to alter the physicochemical and molecular attributes of biochars to increase their efficacy in environmental remediation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in developing multiple functionalized/modified biochars via biological and other physiochemical techniques. Related mechanisms and further applications of multiple modified biochar in soil and water systems remediation have been discussed and summarized. Furthermore, existing research gaps and challenges are discussed, as well as further study needs are suggested. This work epitomizes the scientific prospects for a complete understanding of employing modified biochar as an efficient candidate for the decontamination of polluted soil and water systems for regenerative development.

Abstract
Livestock farming has exerted intense environmental pressure on our planet. The high emissions to the environment and the high demands of resources for the production process have encouraged the search for decarbonization and circularity in the livestock sector. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the environmental performance of two different uses for biogas generated in the anaerobic digestion of animal waste, either for electricity generation or biomethane. For this purpose, a life cycle assessment approach was applied to evaluate the potential of anaerobic digestion as a management technology for three different livestock wastes, related to beef cattle, dairy, and sheep in the Brazilian animal production context. The results suggest that the treatment scenarios focusing on biomethane generation were able to mitigate the highest percentage of damages (77 to 108%) in the global warming category when compared to the scenarios without the use of anaerobic digestion (3.00·102 to 3.71·103 kgCO2 eq) or in the perspective of electricity generation (mitigation of 74 to 96%). In terms of freshwater eutrophication, the generation of electricity (- 2.17·10-2 to 2.31·10-3 kg P eq) is more favorable than the purification of biogas to biomethane (- 1.73·10-2 to 2.44·10-3 kg P eq), due to the loss of methane in the upgrading process. In terms of terrestrial ecotoxicity, all scenarios are very similar, with negative values (- 1.19·101 to - 7.17·102 kg 1,4-DCB) due to the benefit of nutrient recovery, especially nitrogen, associated with the use of digestate as fertilizer, which was one of the critical points in all scenarios. Based on these results, it is evident that proper management of all stages of the treatment life cycle is the key to decarbonization and circularity in livestock waste management. The biogas use does not present different effects on the environmental performance of the scenarios studied, demonstrating that the purpose should be chosen according to the needs of each plant or management system.

Abstract
The easily synthesized, cost-effective, and stable photocatalysts for sulfite activation are always required for the enhancement of organic contaminants degradation. Herein, the facile coprecipitation synthesis of Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr)/Montmorillonite (MMT) was reported, which could activate sulfite (SO32-/HSO3-) under sunlight and accelerate the catalytic performance more effectively than pristine BiOBr. After adding sulfite to the photocatalysis system, the photodegradation efficiency of atrazine (ATZ) achieved 73.7% ± 1.5% after 5 min and 94.4% ± 1.6% after 30 min of sunlight irradiation with BiOBr/MMT. The BiOBr/MMT-sulfite system also presented remarkable photocatalytic performance to eliminate various contaminants, including ciprofloxacin, sulfadiazine, tetracycline, and carbamazepine. The various features of the photocatalyst materials were studied, including their surface morphology, structure, optical properties, and composition. The results illustrated that by adding MMT, the bandgap of the pristine BiOBr was reduced and the surface area was increased, which led to an increased ability to adsorb materials. Results of various influence factors showed this enhanced system had satisfactory and stable removal performance of ATZ in the pH range of 3.0-6.5, but HPO42- had a strong negative effect on the system performance. Oxysulfur radicals (SO5·- and SO4·-), h+, and 1O2 were discovered as the prevailing active species in the BiOBr/MMT-sulfite system. The proposed degradation mechanism of this photocatalyst-enhanced system revealed that sulfite adsorption on the surface of the photocatalyst played a vital role during the initial phase, and the degradation pathway of ATZ was discussed. This study provides a new synthesis strategy of a photocatalyst for sulfite activation and expands the potential uses of Bi-based photocatalysts in degrading difficult-to-remove organic pollutants.

Xiong J, Zhuo Q, Su Y, Qu H, He X, Han L, Huang G. Nitrogen evolution during membrane-covered aerobic composting: Interconversion between nitrogen forms and migration pathways. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 345:118727. [PMID: 37531862 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Aerobic composting is a promising technology for converting manure into organic fertilizer with low capital investment and easy operation. However, the large nitrogen losses in conventional aerobic composting impede its development. Interconversion of nitrogen species was studied during membrane-covered aerobic composting (MCAC) and conventional aerobic composting, and solid-, liquid-, and gas-phase nitrogen migration pathways were identified by performing nitrogen balance measurements. During the thermophilic phase, nitrogenous organic matter degradation and therefore NH3 production were faster during MCAC than uncovered composting. However, the water films inside and outside the membrane decreased NH3 release by 13.92%-22.91%. The micro-positive pressure environment during MCAC decreased N2O production and emission by 20.35%-27.01%. Less leachate was produced and therefore less nitrogen and other pollutants were released during MCAC than uncovered composting. The nitrogen succession patterns during MCAC and uncovered composting were different and NH4+ storage in organic nitrogen fractions was better facilitated during MCAC than uncovered composting. Overall, MCAC decreased total nitrogen losses by 33.24%-50.07% and effectively decreased environmental pollution and increased the nitrogen content of the produced compost.

Abstract
Livestock manure (LSM) management is emerging as a challenge due to increasing livestock consumption. Owing to the decreased agricultural land area, it is necessary to ensure LSM utilization in non-agricultural fields. LSM can be a valuable resource if managed as a circulating resource. This study discusses research trends based on a literature review and classifies LSM treatments. The analysis of each treatment is presented according to research trends, and implications for the future LSM processing are discussed. "Biological treatment" accounted for the largest portion at 48%, "manure management," which suggests improvement in manure treatment through systematic thinking or LSM management practices, accounted for 16%, and "thermochemical conversion" accounted for 11%. In addition, "life cycle assessment (LCA) research," "solid-liquid separation approach," and "nutrient-recovery/losses" were derived. Studies on biological treatments are increasing. Although anaerobic digestion (AD) is the most used method, it has the disadvantages of long processing time and waste generation after processing. As a key supplement, thermochemical conversion (TCC) technology, which could overcome the disadvantages of AD, was reviewed.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to enrich the nutrient content of compost and to investigate the passivation and solubilization of plant micronutrients (Fe, Al, Cu, Ni, Zn, Na, Mn), macroelements (P, K, Mg, Ca), and heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Pb) during sewage sludge composting with nutrient-rich biomass ash additives. T0: 0%, T1: 3.5%, T2: 7.0%, and T3: 14.0% dry weight (DW), weight/weight (w/w) biomass ash was added to the sewage sludge + sawdust mixture (volume, 1:1) to obtain the final NPK content and monitored over a 45-day period. Sawdust was used as auxiliary material. The sequential extraction method was used to determine the elemental species. Cr, Cd and Pb showed higher affinity to the residual fraction and occluded in the oxide fraction, which decreased the bioavailability factor (BF) (<1% BF-Cr, 21% BF-Cd and 9% BF-Pb) compared to the control treatment (46% BF-Cr, 47% BF-Cd and 80% BF-Pb). As the amount of biomass ash increased (T1-T3), the percentages of residual Cr (Res-Cr) (10-65%), exchangeable Cd (Exc-Cd) and organically bound Cd (Org-Cd) (14% and 21%), and oxides-Pb (Oxi-Pb) (20-61%) increased. In all composts, Fe, Al, and Cu were associated with organically bound and oxides-entrapped fractions. More than 50% of total Mn and Mg were concentrated mainly in exchangeable fractions, suggesting high mobility and bioavailability (42% BF-Mn and 98% BF-Mg). Ni, Zn, and Na tended to be present in oxide-bound, organically bound, and residual fractions, while K and P were associated with exchangeable and organically bound fractions. The overall results suggest that composting sewage sludge with biomass ash may be the best strategy and technique to overcome soil application bottlenecks because it passivates heavy metals and improves the bioavailability of plant nutrients.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118453.

Abstract
Additives were widely investigated to retain the nutrients and mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) during manure composting. However, the sustained effects of additives on the GHGs emissions following incorporation of composts to soil were scarcely explored. This study evaluated the effects of bentonite added at the beginning of pig manure composting on the GHGs emissions during two successive processes, i.e., composting and soil incubation amended with composting products. Addition of bentonite did not hinder the composting process and alter the total CO2 emission. On the other hand, reduction by about 17% and 29% for CH4 and N2O emission, respectively, was achieved in the presence of bentonite during composting. Incorporation of the final composting products to soil enhanced significantly the soil C and N of various forms, and gas emissions of CO2 and N2O. However, no significant differences were observed between bentonite-manure co-compost and manure-only compost application except for the N2O emission. Compared to the manure-only compost, compost amended with bentonite reduced N2O loss by around 6.8%, but not statistically significant. This study confirmed that addition of bentonite at the composting stage can mitigate the GHGs emission considering both composting and compost application stages, with all reductions occurring at the composting stage.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of biochar application for organic waste co-composting and its biochemical transformation mechanism. As a composting amendment, biochar work in the adsorption of nutrients, the retention of oxygen and water, and the promotion of electron transfer. These functions serve the micro-organisms (physical support of niche) and determine changes in community structure beyond the succession of composing primary microorganisms. Biochar mediates resistance genes, mobile gene elements, and biochemical metabolic activities of organic matter degrading. The participation of biochar enriched the α-diversity of microbial communities at all stages of composting, and ultimately reflects the high γ-diversity. Finally, easy and convincing biochar preparation methods and characteristic need to be explored, in turn, the mechanism of biochar on composting microbes at the microscopic level can be studied in depth.

Abstract
There is a growing need for soil remediation due to the increase in heavy metals (HMs) migrating into the soil environment, especially those from man-made sources dominated by industry and agriculture. In situ immobilization technology, because of its lower life cycle environmental footprint, can achieve "green and sustainable remediation" of soil heavy-metal pollution. Among the various in situ immobilization remediation agents, organic amendments (OAs) stand out as they can act as soil conditioners while acting as HMs immobilization agents, and therefore have excellent application prospects. In this paper, the types and remediation effects of OAs for HMs in situ immobilization in soil are summarized. OAs have an important effect on the soil environment and other active substances in soil while interacting with HMs in soil. Based on these factors, the principle and mechanism of HMs in situ immobilization in soil using OAs are summarized. Given the complex differential characteristics of soil itself, it is impossible to determine whether it can remain stable after heavy-metal remediation; therefore, there is still a gap in knowledge regarding the compatibility and long-term effectiveness of OAs with soil. In the future, it is necessary to develop a reasonable HMs contamination remediation program for in situ immobilization and long-term monitoring through interdisciplinary integration techniques. These findings are expected to provide a reference for the development of advanced OAs and their applications in engineering.

A Critical Review on the Vermicomposting of Organic Wastes as a Strategy in Circular Bioeconomy: Mechanism, Performance, and Future Perspectives. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2023:1-38.

Abstract
AbstractTo meet the current need for sustainable development, vermicomposting (VC), a natural, eco-friendly, and cost-effective technology, can be a wise selection for the bioconversion of organic wastes into value-added by-products. However, no one has tried to establish the VC technology as an economically sustainable technology by exploring its linkage to circular bioeconomy. Even, no researcher has made any effort to explore the usability of the earthworms (EWs) as a protein supplement while assessing the economic perspectives of VC technology. Very few studies are available on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission potential of VC technology. Still, the contribution of VC technology towards the non-carbon waste management policy is not yet explored. In the current review, a genuine effort has been made to inspect the contribution of VC technology towards the circular bioeconomy, along with evaluating its capability to bioremediate the organic wastes generated from domestic, industrial, and agricultural premises. The potential of the EWs as a protein source has also been explored to strengthen the contribution of VC technology towards the circular bioeconomy. Moreover, the linkage of the VC technology to the non-carbon waste management policy has been comprehensively demonstrated by highlighting its carbon sequestration and GHG emission potentials during the treatment of organic wastes. It has been observed that the cost of food production was reduced by 60--70% by replacing chemical fertilizers with vermicompost. The implication of the vermicompost significantly lessened the harvesting period of the crops, thereby helping the farmers attain higher profits by cultivating more crops in a single calendar year on the same plot. Furthermore, the vermicompost could hold the soil moisture for a long time, lessening the water demand up to 30-40%, which, in turn, reduced the frequency of irrigation. Also, the replacement of the chemical fertilizers with vermicompost resulted in a 23% increment in the grapes' yield, engendering an extra profit of up to 110000 rupees/ha. In Nepal, vermicompost has been produced at a cost of 15.68 rupees/kg, whereas it has been sold to the local market at a rate of 25 rupees/kg as organic manure, ensuring a net profit of 9.32 rupees/kg of vermicompost. EWs embraced 63% crude protein, 5-21% carbohydrates, 6-11% fat, 1476 kJ/100 g of metabolizable energy, and a wide range of minerals and vitamins. EWs also contained 4.11, 2.04, 4.43, 2.83, 1.47, and 6.26 g/kg (on protein basis) of leucine, isoleucine, tryptophan, arginine, histidine, and phenylalanine, respectively, enhancing the acceptability of the EW meal (EWM) as the protein supplement. The inclusion of 3 and 5% EWM in the diet of broiler pullets resulted in a 12.6 and 22.5% increase in their feed conversion ratio (FCR), respectively after one month. Similarly, when a 100% fish meal was substituted by 50% EWM and 50% fish meal, the FCR and growth rate of Parachanna obscura were increased substantially. The VC of maize crop residues mixed with pig manure, cow dung, and biochar, in the presence of Eisenia fetida EWs, yielded only 0.003-0.081, 0-0.17, and 130.40-189.10 g CO2-eq.kg-1 emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O, respectively. Similarly, the VC of tomato stems and cow dung ensured 2.28 and 5.76 g CO2-eq.kg-1 CO2 emissions of CH4 and N2O, respectively. Additionally, the application of vermicompost at a rate of 5 t/ha improved the soil organic carbon proportion and aggravated carbon sequestration. The land application of vermicompost improved micro-aggregation and cut down the tillage, reducing GHG emissions and triggering carbon sequestration. The significant findings of the current review suggest that VC technology potentially contributes to the concept of circular bioeconomy, substantially negotiates potential GHG emissions, and complies with the non-carbon waste management policy, reinforcing its acceptability as an economically sound and environmentally benevolent organic waste bioremediation alternative.

Abstract
Although the composting of lignocellulosic biomass is an emerging waste-to-wealth approach towards organic waste management and circular economy, it still has some environmental loopholes that must be addressed to make it more sustainable and reliable. The significant difficulties encountered when composting lignocellulosic waste biomass are consequently discussed in this study, as well as the advances in science that have been achieved throughout time to handle these problems in a sustainable manner. It discusses an important global concern, the emission of greenhouse gases during the composting process which limits its applicability on a broader scale. Furthermore, it discusses in detail, how different organic minerals and biological additives modify the physiochemical and biological characteristics of compost, aiming at developing eco-friendly compost with minimum odor, greenhouse gases emission and an optimum C/N ratio. It brings novel insights by demonstrating the effect of additives on the microbial enzymes and their pathways involved in the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. This review also highlights the limitations of the application of additives in composting and suggests possible ways to overcome these limitations in the future for the sustainable and eco-friendly management of agricultural waste. The present review concludes that the use of additives in the co-composting of lignocellulosic biomass can be a viable remedy for the ongoing issues with the management of lignocellulosic waste.

Abstract
This work is aimed at investigating the effects derived from the application of minimum amounts of two different sized biochars, obtained through biomass gasification, on the greenhouse gases and ammonia emissions from a co-composting process of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. The chosen biochar-to-organic waste share is set to 3% w/w dry, and the results obtained are compared with a conventional composting process without biochar. Nine aerated static pilot-scale bins with a volume of 1.3 m3 were prototyped and run, three per thesis and three for the control. The trial lasted 63 days, following the same approach used in full-scale composting facilities. The testing period was divided into a forced aeration phase followed by a static phase. In terms of global warming potential, the use of fine biochar and coarse biochar resulted in 13 and 11 kg CO2eq ton-1 emitted respectively. These values are 36% and 45% lower than the 20 kg of CO2eq ton-1 emitted by the control theses. Specifically, the chosen minimum amounts of biochar produced a reduction of CH4 and N2O, while a significant reduction in NH3 emissions was not detected. Carbon dioxide showed a slight increase in biochar theses. This work has proven that fine and coarse gasification-derived biochars improve the bio-oxidative phenomena and reduce greenhouse gases emissions of the composters, regardless of the biochar particle size and regardless of the modest 3% w/w biochar-to-organic waste share used.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical and personnel care products (PPCPs) from wastewater are a potential hazard to the human health and wildlife, and their occurrence in wastewater has caught the concern of researchers recently. To deal with PPCPs, various treatment technologies have been evolved such as physical, biological, and chemical methods. Nevertheless, modern and efficient techniques such as advance oxidation processes (AOPs) demand expensive chemicals and energy, which ultimately leads to a high treatment cost. Therefore, integration of chemical techniques with biological processes has been recently suggested to decrease the expenses. Furthermore, combining ozonation with activated carbon (AC) can significantly enhance the removal efficiency. There are some other emerging technologies of lower operational cost like photo-Fenton method and solar radiation-based methods as well as constructed wetland, which are promising. However, feasibility and practicality in pilot-scale have not been estimated for most of these advanced treatment technologies. In this context, the present review work explores the treatment of emerging PPCPs in wastewater, via available conventional, non-conventional, and integrated technologies. Furthermore, this work focused on the state-of-art technologies via an extensive literature search, highlights the limitations and challenges of the prevailing commercial technologies. Finally, this work provides a brief discussion and offers future research directions on technologies needed for treatment of wastewater containing PPCPs, accompanied by techno-economic feasibility assessment.

Abstract
Presently, owing to the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization activities, a huge quantity of wastewater is generated that contain toxic chemical and heavy metals, imposing higher environmental jeopardies and affecting the life of living well-being and the economy of the counties, if not treated appropriately. Subsequently, the advancement in sustainable cost-effective wastewater treatment technology has attracted more attention from policymakers, legislators, and scientific communities. Therefore, the current review intends to highlight the recent development and applications of biochars and/or green nanoparticles (NPs) produced from agricultural waste via green routes in removing the refractory pollutants from water and wastewater. This review also highlights the contemporary application and mechanism of biochar-supported advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal of organic pollutants in water and wastewater. Although, the fabrication and application of agriculture waste-derived biochar and NPs are considered a greener approach, nevertheless, before scaling up production and application, its toxicological and life-cycle challenges must be taken into account. Furthermore, future efforts should be carried out towards process engineering to enhance the performance of green catalysts to improve the economy of the process.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion has been employed as a technology capable of adding value to waste coupled with environmental impact mitigation. However, many issues need to be elucidated to ensure the systems viability based on this technology. In this sense, the present study evaluated technically, environmentally, and economically, four configurations of swine waste treatment systems focused on the promotion of decarbonization and circularity of the swine chain. For this, a reference plant, based on a compact treatment process named SISTRATES® (Portuguese acronym for swine effluent treatment system) was adopted to serve as a model for comparison and validation. The results showed the importance of prioritization of the energy recuperation routes through anaerobic digestion, providing increased economic benefits and minimizing environmental damage. Thus, the SISTRATES® configuration was the one that presented the best designs in a circular context, maximizing the recovery of energy and nutrients, along with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring the sustainability of the pig production chain.

Effects of different treatments of manure on mitigating methane emissions during storage and preserving the methane potential for anaerobic digestion. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 325:116456. [PMID: 36270124 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Current agricultural practices in regards to storage of manure come with a significant GHG contribution, due, to a big extent, to CH4 emissions. For example, in Denmark, the agricultural sector is responsible for about 11.1 metric tons of CO2 equivalents; only about 0.2 metric tons come directly from CO2, while 6.0 tons come from CH4. The present study aims at evaluating and comparing two methods based on their effect on suppressing CH4 emissions during storage as well as on preserving and enhancing CH4 yield in a subsequent anaerobic digestion step: the commonly applied acidification with H2SO4 as acidifying agent and thermal treatment at the mild temperatures of 70 and 90 °C (pasteurization). Although both treatments effectively suppressed CH4 emissions during storage, they exhibited a significant difference in preserving and/or enhancing the CH4 potential of manure. Specifically, thermal treatment resulted in 16-35% enhancement of CH4 potential, while acidification resulted in decreasing the CH4 yield by 6-23% compared to non-treated manure. Further investigation showed that storage itself positively affected the CH4 potential of treated manure in a subsequent anaerobic digestion step; this was attributed to microbial activity other than biomethanation during storage. In overall and based on the results obtained regarding suppression of CH4 emissions during storage as well as CH4 potential enhancement, pasteurization at the temperatures tested is a promising alternative to the broadly applied acidification of manure.

Abstract
Energy is indispensable in human life and social development, but this has led to an overconsumption of non-renewable energy. Sustainable energy is needed to maintain the global energy balance. Lignocellulose from agriculture or forestry is often discarded or directly incinerated. It is abundantly available to be discovered and studied as a biomass energy source. Therefore, this research uses Staphylea holocarpa wood as feedstock to evaluate its potential as energy source. We characterized Staphylea holocarpa wood by utilizing FT-IR, GC-MS, TGA, Py/GC-MS and NMR. The results showed that Staphylea holocarpa wood contained a large amount of oxygenated volatiles, indicating that it has the ability to act as biomass energy sources which can achieve green chemistry and sustainable development.

Abstract
Rising global temperature, pollution load, and energy crises are serious problems, recently facing the world. Scientists around the world are ambitious to find eco-friendly and cost-effective routes for resolving these problems. Biochar has emerged as an agent for environmental remediation and has proven to be the effective sorbent to inorganic and organic pollutants in water and soil. Endowed with unique attributes such as porous structure, larger specific surface area (SSA), abundant surface functional groups, better cation exchange capacity (CEC), strong adsorption capacity, high environmental stability, embedded minerals, and micronutrients, biochar is presented as a promising material for environmental management, reduction in greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, soil management, and soil fertility enhancement. Therefore, the current review covers the influence of key factors (pyrolysis temperature, retention time, gas flow rate, and reactor design) on the production yield and property of biochar. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the diverse application of biochar such as waste management, construction material, adsorptive removal of petroleum and oil from aqueous media, immobilization of contaminants, carbon sequestration, and their role in climate change mitigation, soil conditioner, along with opportunities and challenges. Finally, this review discusses the evaluation of biochar standardization by different international agencies and their economic perspective.

Abstract
The constant greenhouse gases (GHGs) and ammonia emissions during pig manure (PM) composting have made large contributions to air pollution and global temperature rise. This study aimed to evaluate the addition of biochar (B) and wood vinegar (WV) to reduce GHGs emissions and improve nitrogen retention and microbial activities during PM composting. Different treatments, carried out under a 1:2 ratio (dry weight) of PM and sawdust mixture with the addition of B (5%) and various proportions of WV, include a control treatment (CT) without the addition of B and WV and, B, B+0.5%WV, B+1.0%WV, B+1.5%WV, and B+2.0%WV treatments. The results indicated that the addition of B could accelerate the composting process in contrast to CT. In addition, various amounts of WV with B decreased NH3, CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions by 18.82-35.88%, 1.38-15.39%, 16.98-62.73%, and 4.47-19.91%, respectively. Furthermore, in contrast to the B treatment, WV addition was more effective in decreasing GHGs and NH3 emissions, and the B+1.0% WV treatment displayed the lowest nitrogen loss (2.12%) and GHGs emissions (11.62 g/kg). The bacterial community analysis demonstrated that synergistic application of WV and B can increase the relative abundance of Proteobacteria which can contribute to nitrogen fixation and reduction of nitrogen loss. The results proved that combining B with WV can be a feasible strategy to effectively reduce GHGs emissions and improve nitrogen conservation in the composting industry.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate antibiotic resistant fungal (ARF) communities in pig manure (PM) composting employing two different biochar (coconut shell-CSB and bamboo biochar-BB) as amendment. Three treatments (Control, 10% CSB and 10% BB) were designed and indicated with T1 to T3. Experimental results declared that the fungal abundance significantly reduced among the both biochar applied treatments but three dominant phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Mucoromycota were still relatively greater abundance present. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the relative abundance and diversity of fungi among all three treatments. Interestingly, biochar addition regulated the overall fungal community in final compost. Compared with the control group, the abundance of fungi was positively mobilized, and especially CSB showed a better effect. Conclusively, biochar has potential to inhibit and reduce the ARGs population and mobility in compost. Thus, these findings offer new insight to understand the succession of ARFs during PM composting.

Abstract
Improper disposal of animal waste is responsible for several environmental problems, causing eutrophication of lakes and rivers, nutrient overload in the soil, and the spread of pathogenic organisms. Despite the potential to cause adverse ecological damage, animal waste can be a valuable source of resources if incorporated into a circular concept. In this sense, new approaches focused on recovery and reuse as substitutes for traditional processes based on removing contaminants in animal manure have gained attention from the scientific community. Based on this, the present work reviewed the literature on the subject, performing a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of articles published in peer-reviewed journals between 1991 and 2021. Of the articles analyzed, the main issues addressed were nitrogen and phosphorus recovery, energy generation, high-value-added products, and water reuse. The energy use of livestock waste stands out since it is characterized as a consolidated solution, unlike other routes still being developed, presenting the economic barrier as the main limiting factor. Analyzing the trend of technological development through the S curve, it was possible to verify that the circular economy in the management of animal waste will enter the maturation phase as of 2036 and decline in 2056, which demonstrates opportunities for the sector's development, where animal waste can be an economic agent, promoting a cleaner and more viable product for a sustainable future.

Abstract
Land treatment has become an essential waste management practice. Therefore, soil becomes a major source of contaminants including organic chemicals and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) which enter the food chain, primarily through leaching to potable water sources, plant uptake, and animal transfer. A range of soil amendments are used to manage the mobility of contaminants and subsequently their bioavailability. Various soil amendments, like desorbing agents, surfactants, and chelating agents, have been applied to increase contaminant mobility and bioavailability. These mobilizing agents are applied to increase the contaminant removal though phytoremediation, bioremediation, and soil washing. However, possible leaching of the mobilized pollutants during soil washing is a major limitation, particularly when there is no active plant uptake. This leads to groundwater contamination and toxicity to plants and soil biota. In this context, the present review provides an overview on various soil amendments used to enhance the bioavailability and mobility of organic and inorganic contaminants, thereby facilitating increased risk when soil is remediated in polluted areas. The unintended consequences of the mobilization methods, when used to remediate polluted sites, are discussed in relation to the leaching of mobilized contaminants when active plant growth is absent. The toxicity of targeted and non-targeted contaminants to microbial communities and higher plants is also discussed. Finally, this review work summarizes the existing research gaps in various contaminant mobilization approaches, and prospects for future research.

Abstract
In sub-Saharan Africa, rapid population growth, urbanization, increasing incomes, and changing dietary preferences are the main drivers of the rising demand for livestock products, especially fresh milk and derived products. To meet this demand, there is an increasing number of dairy cattle farms in the densely populated coastal zone of Benin, where the country's largest city and commercial capital Cotonou is located. To identify and characterize the peri-urban dairy production systems in this region, 190 cattle keepers were surveyed, using the snowball sampling method, in four municipalities neighboring Cotonou. Information on their socio-economic characteristics, cattle herd sizes, and herd management practices were collected through questionnaire-based face-to-face interviews. Factor analysis of mixed data followed by hierarchical clustering on principal components, implemented in R statistical software, were applied to classify the surveyed farms into homogeneous groups. Results revealed six types of peri-urban dairy cattle farms differing mainly in their cows' breeds, herd sizes, and daily amount of milk produced. Most herds (88%) were owned by urban dwellers, mainly civil servants and traders, who entrusted the management of their cattle to hired professional herders. Irrespective of farm type, cows were of local taurine (65%) or Sahelian zebu (35%) breeds and were exclusively fed on communal natural pasture. Mineral supplementation was provided to the animals on 42% of farms, with significant variation across farm types. About 45% of the farms integrated cattle production with other agricultural activities, including coconut plantations (22%), where cow manure was used as fertilizer. The herd structure was similar across farm types, with average proportions of cows and heifers ranging from 37.6 to 47.5% and from 13.1 to 19.7%, respectively. With significant differences across farm types, the produced milk was either transformed into traditional cheese (32% of farms) or sold raw (85%). Milk and cheese sales represented 84% of the total farm income for three out of the six farm types. In the current context of rapid urbanization, communal grazing lands alone cannot provide sufficient feed to support increased milk production. In addition to improved feeding strategies, herd structure should be balanced in terms of the ratio between milk-producing and non-producing animals.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 360:127591. [PMID: 35809873 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Composting technologies have come a long way, developing from static heaps and windrow composting to smart, artificial intelligence-assisted reactor composting. While in previous years, much attention has been paid to identifying ideal organic waste streams and suitable co-composting candidates, more recent efforts tried to determine novel process-enhancing supplements. These include various single and mixed microbial cultures, additives, bulking agents, or combinations thereof. However, there is still ample need to fine-tune the composting process in order to reduce its impact on the environment and streamline it with circular economy goals. In this review, we highlight recent advances in integrating mathematical modelling, novel supplements, and reactor designs with (vermi-) composting practices and provide an outlook for future developments. These results should serve as reference point to target adjusting screws for process improvement and provide a guideline for waste management officials and stakeholders.

Abstract
The effects of magnesite (MS) on fungi communities and the core fungi complementarity during pig manure (PM) composting were explored. Different dosage of MS [0% (T1), 2.5% (T2), 5% (T3), 7.5% (T4) and 10% (T5)] as amendments mixed with PM for 42 days composting. The results showed the dominant of phyla were Ascomycota (78.87%), Neocallimastigomycota (41.40%), Basidiomycota (30.81%) and Aphelidiomycota (29.44%). From day 7 to 42, the abundance of Ascomycota and Aphelidiomycota were increased from 7.75% to 42.41% to 57.27%-78.87% and 0-0.70% to 11.73%-29.44% among all treatments. Nevertheless, the phyla abundance of Neocallimastigomycota and Basidiomycota decreased from day 7 to 42. The co-occurrence network indicated that the high additive amendment could enhance the core fungi complementarity effects capacity. The 10% MS addition was a promisable candidate to optimum fungal communities, and causing a better compost quality. This study illustrated the potential and fungi communities changing of MS as additives in composting.

Abstract
Soil is considered as a vital natural resource equivalent to air and water which supports growth of the plants and provides habitats to microorganisms. Changes in soil properties, productivity, and, inevitably contamination/stress are the result of urbanisation, industrialization, and long-term use of synthetic fertiliser. Therefore, in the recent scenario, reclamation of contaminated/stressed soils has become a potential challenge. Several customized, such as, physical, chemical, and biological technologies have been deployed so far to restore contaminated land. Among them, microbial-assisted phytoremediation is considered as an economical and greener approach. In recent decades, soil microbes have successfully been used to improve plants' ability to tolerate biotic and abiotic stress and strengthen their phytoremediation capacity. Therefore, in this context, the current review work critically explored the microbial assisted phytoremediation mechanisms to restore different types of stressed soil. The role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their potential mechanisms that foster plants' growth and also enhance phytoremediation capacity are focussed. Finally, this review has emphasized on the application of advanced tools and techniques to effectively characterize potent soil microbial communities and their significance in boosting the phytoremediation process of stressed soils along with prospects for future research.

Abstract
This study systematically evaluated the effects of bentonite as a possible additive to alleviate the "inhibited steady-state" induced by ammonia and acid accumulation during anaerobic digestion. Continuous stirred tank reactors fed with poultry manure were operated at 35 ± 1 °C either with bentonite or not. The results demonstrate that bentonite amendment increased average specific methane production by 35% as suffered from steady-state at an organic loading rate of 6.25 g VS/L·d. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed that the relative abundance of electron-donating Sedimentibacter and Syntrophomonas, and electrophilic Methanosarcina was increased by 110%, 91%, and 49%, respectively. The genera were identified as crucial for alleviating "inhibited steady-state", through establishment of a more robust syntrophic pathway of methanogenic acetate degradation. The enhancement might result from the accelerated electron transfer by bentonite, which is qualified for serving as an exogenetic electron mediator due to containing abundant redox-active metal elements.

Abstract
The rapid growth of the livestock sector in some areas of Europe has caused an imbalance between the generation of livestock manure and the availability of agricultural soil for its direct application as a fertilizer. Since the transport of pig slurry to other areas with nutrient-deficient soils is costly from an economic point of view due to its high water content, the application of new technologies for the concentration of this waste is considered key for reducing management costs. Consequently, the main objective of this study was to demonstrate the potential of vibratory shear enhanced processing (VSEP) operated with reverse osmosis membranes to recover nutrients from the liquid fractions of pig slurry (LF-pig slurry) and digestate (LF-digestate) and obtain concentrated fertilizing products. Use of the VSEP unit permitted reductions in the water contents of the LF-pig slurry and LF-digestate, around 77% and 67%, respectively. Both VSEP concentrates were characterized by their significant nutrient contents and showed a nitrogen fertilizer replacement value similar to that of mineral fertilizer as demonstrated in a barley crop pot-test, although the salinity of the digestate concentrate was identified as a key limitation, negatively impacting the agronomic yield of the test crop.

Abstract
In order to further optimize the application of fermentation bedding system and evaluate its improvements on low temperature, low humidity and other adverse environments of animal breeding in winter, we tested the waste discharge and performance of 12,921 breeder ducks from November to January. The fresh bedding materials and fermentation microbes showed significant advantages. They increased the temperature and temperature humidity index (THI) by more than 3.48 °C and 5.54, reduced the emissions of H2S, NH3, CO2, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10) and total suspended particulate (TSP) by more than 29.92%, 47.21%, 13.69%, 25.90%, 23.43% and 25.94% respectively, compared to control. The stale bedding materials increased the mortality rate and breeding egg loss rate of breeder ducks by 0.17% and 4.22% significantly, reduced the healthy duckling rate and total effective hatching rate by 2.41% and 4.22%, compared to control, had limited effects on the improvement of house environments. PM2.5, TSP, CO2, H2S and NH3 were important environmental parameters affecting the productive and reproductive performance of ducks. These data can provide an insight that the fermentation bed system could reduce the waste emission of breeder ducks, improve their production and increase the health rate of their offspring. Its application in livestock farming would create a better breeding environment and economic benefits. In addition, the stale bedding materials were not recommended to recycle in fermentation bed system for cleaner production and sustainable development.

Abstract
Recent years have seen upsurge in plastic manufacturing and its utilization in various fields, such as, packaging, household goods, medical applications, and beauty products. Due to various adverse impacts imposed by synthetic plastics on the health of living well-being and the environment, the biopolymers have been emerged out an alternative. Although, the biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are entirely degradable. However, the other polymers, such as poly (lactic acid) (PLA) are only partially degradable and often not biosynthesized. Biodegradation of the polymers using microorganisms is considered an effective bioremediation approach. Biodegradation can be performed in aerobic and anaerobic environments. In this context, the present review discusses the biopolymer production, their persistence in the environment, aerobic biodegradation, anaerobic biodegradation, challenges associated with biodegradation and future perspectives. In addition, this review discusses the advancement in the technologies associated with biopolymer production, biodegradation, and their biodegradation standard in different environmental settings. Furthermore, differences in the degradation condition in the laboratory as well as on-site are discussed.

Effects of different additives and aerobic composting factors on heavy metal bioavailability reduction and compost parameters: A meta-analysis.

Abstract
Additives are considered a promising approach to accelerate the composting process and alleviate the dissemination of pollutants to the environment. However, nearly all previous articles have focused on the impact of additive amounts on the reduction of HMs, which may not fully represent the main factor shaping HMs bioavailability status during composting. Simultaneously, previous reviews only explored the impacts, speciation, and toxicity mechanism of HMs during composting. Hence, a global-scale meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the response patterns of HMs bioavailability and compost parameters to different additives, composting duration, and composting factors (additive types, feedstock, bulking agents, and composting methods) by measuring the weighted mean values of the response ratio "[ln (RR)]" and size effect (%). The results revealed that additives significantly lessened HMs bioavailability by ≥ 40% in the final compost products than controls. The bioavailability decline rates were -40%, -60%, -57%, -55%, -42%, and -44% for Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, and Cd. Simultaneously, additives significantly improved the total nitrogen (TN) (+16%), pH (+5%), and temperature (+5%), and decreased total organic carbon (TOC) (-17%), moisture content (MC) (-18%), and C/N ratio (-19%). Furthermore, we found that the prolongation of composting time significantly promoted the effect of additives on declining HMs bioavailability (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, increasing additive amounts revealed an insignificant impact on decreasing the HMs bioavailability (p > 0.05). Eventually, using zeolite as an additive, chicken manure as feedstock, sawdust as a bulking agent, and a reactor as composting method had the most significant reduction effect on HMs bioavailability (p < 0.05). The findings of this meta-analysis may contribute to the selection, modification, and application of additives and composting factors to manage the level of bioavailable HMs in the compost products.

Abstract
Livestock farming and its products provide a diverse range of benefits for our day-to-day life. However, the ever-increasing demand for farmed animals has raised concerns about waste management and its impact on the environment. Worldwide, cattle produce enormous amounts of manure, which is detrimental to soil properties if poorly managed. Waste management with insect larvae is considered one of the most efficient techniques for resource recovery from manure. In recent years, the use of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) for resource recovery has emerged as an effective method. Using BSFL has several advantages over traditional methods, as the larvae produce a safe compost and extract trace elements like Cu and Zn. This paper is a comprehensive review of the potential of BSFL for recycling organic wastes from livestock farming, manure bioconversion, parameters affecting the BSFL application on organic farming, and process performance of biomolecule degradation. The last part discusses the economic feasibility, lifecycle assessment, and circular bioeconomy of the BSFL in manure recycling.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 150:75-89. [PMID: 35809372 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2022.06.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Anaerobic digestion and composting are attracting increasing attention due to the increased production of animal manure. It is essential to know about the fate and bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs) for further utilisation of animal manure. This review has systematically summarised the migration of HMs and the transformation of several typical HMs (Cu, Zn, Cd, As, and Pb) during anaerobic digestion and composting. The results showed that organic matter degradation increased the HMs content in biogas residue and compost (with the exception of As in compost). HMs migrated into biogas residue during anaerobic digestion through various mechanisms. Most of HMs in biogas residue and compost exceeded relevant standards. Then, anaerobic digestion increased the bioavailable fractions proportion in Zn and Cd, decreased the F4 proportion, and raised them more than moderate environmental risks. As (III) was the main species in the digester, which extremely increased As toxicity. The increase of F3 proportion in Cu and Pb was due to sulphide formation in biogas residue. Whereas, the high humus content in compost greatly increased the F3 proportion in Cu. The F1 proportion in Zn decreased, but the plant availability of Zn in compost did not reduce significantly. Cd and As mainly converted the bioavailable fractions into stable fractions during composting, but As (V) toxicity needs to be concerned. Moreover, additives are only suitable for animal manure treated with slightly HM contaminated. Therefore, it is necessary to combine more comprehensive methods to improve the manure treatment and make product utilisation safer.

Abstract
Biogas generation using food waste anaerobic co-digestion with activated sludge provides a cleaner addressable system, an excellent solution to global challenges, the increasing energy demands, fuel charges, pollution and wastewater treatment. Regardless of the anaerobic digestate end product values, the technology lacks efficiency and process instability due to substrate irregularities. Process parameters and substrate composition, play a vital role in the efficiency and outcome of the system. Intrinsic biochar properties such as pore size, specific surface properties and cation exchange capacity make it an ideal additive that enriches microbial functions and enhances anaerobic digestion. The pretreatment and co-digestion of food waste and activated sludge are found to be significant for efficient biogas generation. The advantages, drawbacks, limitations, and technical improvements are covered extensively in the present review besides the recent advancement in the anaerobic digestion system.

Abstract
Lignocellulose waste was served as promising raw material for bioethanol production. Bioethanol was considered to be a potential alternative energy to take the place of fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass synthesized by plants is regenerative, sufficient and cheap source for bioethanol production. The biotransformation of lignocellulose could exhibit dual significance-reduction of pollution and obtaining of energy. Some strategies are being developing and increasing the utilization of lignocellulose waste to produce ethanol. New technology of bioethanol production from natural lignocellulosic biomass is required. In this paper, the progress in genetic manipulation strategies including gene editing and synthetic genomics for the transformation from lignocellulose to ethanol was reviewed. At last, the application prospect of bioethanol was introduced.

Abstract
Increasing population, industrialization, and economic growth cause several adverse impacts on the existing environment and living being. Therefore, rising pollutants load and their mitigation strategies, as well as achieving energy requirements while reducing reliance on fossil fuels are the key areas, which needs significant consideration for sustainable environment. Since India has considerable biomass resources, bioenergy is a significant part of the country’s energy policy. However, the selection of feedstock is a crucial step in bioenergy production that could produce raw material without compromising food reserve along with the sustainable environment. Higher growth capacity of bamboo species makes them a suitable lignocellulosic substrate for the production of high-value greener products such as fuels, chemicals, and biomaterials as well as an appropriate candidate for eco-restoration of degraded land. In that context, the current review discusses the multidimensional applications of bamboo species in India. The bioenergy potency of bamboo and probability of aligning its production, cultivation, and operation with economic and social development agendas are also addressed, making it an exceptional crop in India. Additionally, its fast growth, perennial root systems, and capability to restore degraded land make it an essential part of ecological restoration. Furthermore, this review explores additional benefits of bamboo plantation on the environment, economy, and society along with future research prospects.
